An international team of researchers is pushing forward with plans for a radically smaller, cheaper particle accelerator by ...

Particle accelerators can be linear (straight) or circular in shape and have many different sizes. They can be tens of kilometres long or fit in a small room, but all accelerators feature four ...

This was considered the true birth of particle accelerators and in fact, the current generation of linear colliders are still relying on the same principle. Rolf Winderöe was the first to build ...

Researchers at the CMS collaboration at CERN have reported the discovery of the smallest hadron in existence, the toponium.

“It’s like an open ocean,” says particle physicist Pierluigi Campana ... And it could host a future linear accelerator based on one of several advanced technologies that are being developed ...

DESY scientists have taken a major step in refining laser plasma acceleration, a technology that could revolutionize particle ...

A large proportion of these radioisotopes are produced in particle accelerators, and the number of institutions that operate linear accelerators or cyclotrons and manufacture and distribute ...

DESY's new flagship laser, KALDERA, has now made a decisive step forward: Driving the compact plasma accelerator MAGMA, the innovative laser has been shown to accelerate 100 particle bunches per ...

The mind-bending experiments taking place in particle accelerators around the world, including the Large Hadron Collider. Quarks, munons, bosons, and dark matter galore. By Andrew Paul By Andrew ...

Fresh from their historic discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012, researchers using CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the main particle accelerator ... including linear collider designs and ...
